Aleph.im Partners with Customized Oracle Protocol, Switchboard
We at Aleph.im are proud to announce our strategic partnership with Switchboard, the customized oracle protocol for general-purpose data feeds and verifiable randomness. The partnership entails Switchboard Publisher using our Aleph.im Aggregator for tracking data feeds that are created for users and posts for off-chain feed definitions.
Switchboard is a decentralized, permissionless oracle network built on Solana that lets anyone publish on-chain data for smart contract developers to build upon. To achieve this, data feeds can be set up from a group of tasks to get data, parse a response, and then figure out a final result. Switchboard is the first decentralized oracle network to bring verifiable randomness to Solana and enable the community to bring any form of data on-chain.
In this regard, Switchboard’s integration of Aleph.im will enable users to post to a registry where they completely own their data.
Enabling Permissionless Data Feeds On-Chain
As the native decentralized data indexing, querying, and storage platform for Solana, we have an extensive track record of offering these services to Solana-based protocols and ending their reliance on centralized solutions for the same. Switchboard is now the latest addition to this list.
“Switchboard is the first of its kind protocol on Solana that allows permissionless data feeds on-chain. As such, we believe our decentralized indexing and storage solution at Aleph.im can complement the protocol to build a comprehensive data solution for users and end their dependence on centralized solutions for the same,” says Jonathan Schemoul, the CEO of Aleph.
Our Aleph.im protocol features a network of microVMs (Micro Virtual Machines) that index all the data on the platform in order to produce an extensive data history that is readily available to anyone who wants to view it. We additionally make sure that this information is parsed accordingly in order to improve its usefulness. On our platform, all data is cryptographically signed to reduce the possibility of fraud and to guarantee secure data transfers.
As such, Switchboard’s integration of Aleph.im will allow its users to create a huge catalog of feed definitions without the need for a centralized operator. It also makes it easier for developers to find and use this data to build products and protocols for DeFi.
“Aleph.im is exactly what we at Switchboard were looking for in terms of decentralized storage,” says Albert Hermida, Senior Software Engineer at Switchboard. “The protocol’s capacity for huge catalogs of feed definitions without a central operator is what caught our attention. Aleph.im was by far the most frictionless to use of any decentralized storage system we looked at.”
We at Aleph.im are pleased to be partnering with the first-of-its-kind protocol like Switchboard.xyz and contribute to their vision both now and well into the future!
TL;DR — Aleph.im Partners with Customized Oracle Protocol, Switchboard. Our integration allows Switchboard users to post to a registry where they own their data allowing for a huge catalog of feed definitions to exist without a centralized operator.
